What the Evidence Shows

The claim states that Brazilian President Lula requested BRICS countries to impose retaliatory tariffs on the US following Trump's announcement of tariffs. The search results and sources provided focus on Lula's criticism of Trump's tariff decisions but do not mention any call for coordinated retaliatory tariffs by BRICS countries. The articles highlight Lula's disapproval and his remarks about the US tariffs but do not support the assertion that he urged BRICS nations to respond with retaliatory measures.

Therefore, the claim that Lula asked BRICS countries to impose retaliatory tariffs is not substantiated by the available information.
